	WWE - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Mondt and McMahon wanted Rogers to keep the NWA World Championship, but Rogers was unwilling to sacrifice his $25,000 deposit on the belt (title holders at the time had to pay a deposit to insure they would honor their commitments as champion).
		Rogers lost the NWA World Championship to Lou Thesz in a one-fall match in Toronto, Ontario on January 24, 1963, which led to Mondt, McMahon and the CWC leaving the NWA in protest, creating the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) in the process.
		This meant that the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship was downgraded (was no longer a world title) and was renamed the WWWF Heavyweight Title, though the WWWF champions during this NWA Membership were recognized retroactively as World Champions by WWE today.

	ECW: Extreme Rules DVD Movie Review by AceGamez
		With sixteen matches on offer it'd be cruel to say that everything after the original ECW incarnation is terrible, but when you compare any of the matches from the new ECW TV show to any of the matches from the first disk then you'll see why ECW is such a joke.
		As the ECW TV show is only an hour long, I feel that they were given this match move for move in order to fit the timeframe (an ad break didn't help either) and so it doesn't feel as spontaneous as others in the past.
		The only reason ECW went out of business in 2001 was because Paul Heyman was a terrible businessman; if he'd had the financial might of McMahon or Turner then he would have run both WWE and WCW into the ground with ECW's innovative match styles and entertaining storylines.

		RVD held the ECW World Television Championship for a record-breaking 23 months and his championship reign was ended only because Rob Van Dam broke his ankle and was forced to relinquish the championship.
		On the world premiere of ECW on SCI FI on June 13, 2006, ECW representative Paul Heyman finally awarded Rob Van Dam with the ECW World Heavyweight Championship belt that had eluded RVD for over 10 years.
		Rather than throwing down the WWE Championship, RVD chose to wear both belts because the ECW World Heavyweight Championship is the greatest achievement in his career, and WWE Championship belt amuses him because "it spins."
